Last year I made up a sleeve for one of my own mixes of Lush music. It turned out none too shabby if I do say so myself ;) I want to share this piece as a printable CD sleeve for your own mixes (only asking that it is never to be used for commercial purposes).

A little fansite at Yahoo groups which is no longer active.... such a shame :/

There's a few photos held there, for those who care to have a look.

I especially like this mag scan of Miki at the Lollapalooza music festival holding the now-famous KISS-ified Lush album art done by a devoted fan - "Shout It Out Soft" - and Miki striking a Gene Simmons pose... well, her tongue does anyway ;P

love at first sight

For a decade they were LUSH, a British band who's music has withstood the test of time. They bucked stereotypes, were reviled by the press, more often dismissed or misunderstood than recognized for their musical genius. Some 19 years after the disbanding, that music refuses to go away, and is attracting a new generation of listeners.

And now, as of September 28, LUSH IS BACK!!!

I can't pinpoint the exact moment when Lush found me (was it by the local college radio, or through my fave indie/import record shop?), but the dreamy melodies struck me down like an ethereal sledge hammer. I sought out theGala album, theBlack Spring ep issued soon afterward, and obsessed over each consecutive release to follow... I've been a jealously loyal follower ever since.

This blog is the latest reincarnation of my humble (and dreadful!) Lush site first published back in '97. Oh well, perhaps this time I can get it right ;P
